Subject: [PATCH] feat(vsix-build): add optional test-project input
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Repos with a test project had to run tests in a separate workflow, which meant
building the extension twice per PR — test projects reference the extension
project, so `dotnet test` rebuilds it along with any self-contained server
publish it triggers.

Adding the test run to this job reuses the build output. SetVsixVersion is
passed through to match the build step, since MSBuild would otherwise treat the
differing global properties as a separate project instance and rebuild.

The input defaults to empty, so repos that do not set it are unaffected.
